As per sthalapurana, Bali Chakravarthy could not have darshan of the Lord during Tiruvikrama Avathar as he was under the Lord's foot. The Lord, acceding to Bali's request appeared as Ulagalanda at Satyavrada Kshetram (Kancheepuram). Ulagalanda Perumal and Ooragam are together considered as one Divya Desa.

This temple is at Big Kancheepuram near the bus stop.
